    So I have my dress, but I didn't really try on veils when I purchased it, and I'm trying to pick what kind of veil I want to wear. Originally, I was leaning towards a birdcage veil, but now I'm not so sure. But I'm not into long veils. My wedding is going to be outdoors near a garden and pond. My dress is all over lace with a cap sleeve and a bit of sparkle. Opinions would be great! Thanks!

     These are some examples I liked - not necessarily the veil I would buy.

    Option 1:

    A tulle blusher - something like this with a different flower clip

    Option 2:

    birdcage veil (example)

    Option 3:

    elbow length veil with embellished edge

    Option 4:

    short 2-tier veil

    Here is my dress...

    I voted for the birdcage veil, I think that would be absolutely stunning with the dress. Your dress has a classic elegance about it and I think a short veil or birdcage style veil would be very flattering.

    I think the elbow length would be perfect with your dress!

    Im not usually a super huge fan of bird cage veils but I think with the dress shape and style it would look really classy and pretty :) that got my vote!

    I’m not a fan of shorter veils and I think the birdcage veil would look great with your dress!!

    I think a birdcage would look great with your dress, but I also think a long veil would look even prettier.

    I think the birdcage thing is going out, so I chose the first one, which has a similar, but fresher feel.  The only one I personally hate is the third one (elbow length embellished) because I don't think it will lookgoods with the sleeve on your dress.

    I voted elbow length, because I think the "short" one would clash with the arm caps of your dress....  out of the two 'birdcage' veils, I prefer the tulle one...  but my first choice would be an elbow length veil.  But I guess it depends on the general theme and feel of your day....  :)

    I just don't see a traditional veil with that dress.... which by the way is STUNNING!!! I picked the birdcage because I think you can never go wrong with a birdcage with a lace dress. But, I agree with @brenda.m.fields:  because the first is a fresher take on the birdcage.

    @MrsB2012:  Thank you! I agreed with you but I was second-guessing if I liked the birdcage with my dress :) But I thought the birdcage or the blusher would be fitting for my outdoor ceremony/reception. Thanks!

    I didn't really think about the embellished edge with the cap sleeves of my dress. I thought a slight embellishment might be okay but I'm leaning towards just plain tulle. Thanks!
